During the past weeks, Republican candidates have been bitterly attacking each other, mostly telling the people that the other candidates are not conservative enough.
As a rule of thumb, I think that most of what they say about the other candidates is true, while everything they say about themselves is a lie.
I purposely keep Ron Paul out of this dogfight. The reason is because, as the last tactic against the only candidate who consistently, by words and deeds, has done what he swore to do, defend and protect the Constitution, Ron Paul is not a conservative.
Self-entitled conservative Republicans apparently believe that they have a monopoly on the Constitution. Now, given the fact that they still love “compassionate conservative” George W. Bush, still the main destroyer of the Constitution in recent times — though Obama is trying harder to beat his record — I wonder, what do conservatives want to conserve?
Do they want to continue reducing the freedom of the American people by both Republicans (Patriot Act) and Democrats (National Defense Authorization Act)?
Do they want to conserve the breakdown of the rule of law by the very ones who are supposed to preserve it?
If that is what so-called “conservatives” want to conserve, preserve, protect, save, safeguard, keep, sustain, maintain, prolong and perpetuate, please count me out!
